I work nights on track taking lines for Engineers Possessions. On four track we can have the slow lines closed and the fast lines open to traffic. Let me assure all of you that a Pendolino doing 125mph doesn't ask what your religion, politics or sexual orientation are...it just gives you a very swift, permanent enema. On track we have to have our wits about us... in life I would suggest that consideration, politeness and tolerance would save all of us a lot of grief. If you are not familiar with the word "tolerance" look up Bishop Burnet of Salisbury c 1700... see the "Conclusion" to his "A History of My Own time". He lived a lot closer to the times when they burnt people alive for being the "wrong kind of Christian"...anyone else they just chopped up. I didn't put it in my profile, but I had a life changing experience due to the Vietnam War... when I was building my first bike I was throwing a tantrum because I couldn't find a part or a tool... the news came on, on Radio Luxembourg (the only decent radio you could get here then)...some South Vietnamese village had just been obliterated with napalm in a "friendly fire" incident... I stopped dead and asked myself what my problem was? I wasn't a Believer of any sort then... but it changed my whole life. When we are full of food, secure and comfortable we have time and energy to get into meaningless fights to establi***o which nth degree we are more correct than the other guy. As a Believer -- no, just as a human being -- I have to ask myself "Does making someone else look stupid show how much my God loves him... or me"?
